If CD Leganes plays at home against Malaga CF this weekend, who wins?
Right, first of all I'll say I haven't seen these sides play at all this year so you won't get a totally fair answer as a result.Leganes: Are at home, got a good result last weekend, 1st season back in La Liga. You would say they have weaker players than Malaga but the Leganes would look at the table and think yes this is where we would expect to be and we have a six point gap on the relegation spots.Malaga: At first glance Malaga would be my expected team to win facing off against a newly promoted team and I'd say they would have better players being in the league longer. However, Malaga were beat at the weekend and are underperforming in the table compared to last years finish.I will stick my neck out and go for a Leganes Win.
Who are the players you think should be signed by Inter Milan? Who should be sold by them in the next transfer window?
First of all sorry, I don't know the names of the roles in English so feel free to correct me. At the time of my answer the January transfer market has just finished. Inter has acquired 4 key players: Santon ( I'll call him an outside defender, who can play both left and right side) and he already had an impact on the team, especially vs. Celtic and Cagliari; Podolski, world class attacker who has not shown what he is capable of, yet; Shaqiri devastating! I love the guy, he can be what Sneijder has been for the triplete inter; and finally Brozovic who is a classic multi-purpose midfielder. Mister Mancini also changed the game plan to a 4-1-2-1-2 in order to add quality in the midfield.What we need now in order to step up the reconstruction? Obviously an outside defender, as we actually have Santon And D'ambrosio as starters and no player with their characteristics (Nagatomo and Dodó are not defenders, nor Jonatan whose contract won't be renovated); obviously also a central defender: Vidic is approaching the end of his career and both Ranocchia and Juan Jesus have flaws, so they will be good reserves in a first class team. Finally an attacker: Podolski is a loan with no obligations and we need someone who can assure a turnover to Icardi and Palacio.Who we need to sell? let's make this quick: Icardi can go only for a large amount of money (50+) and only if the managing staff has in mind a substitute ready to take the starting place; Hernanes is a reserve and this is not good for both him and the team; Handanovic can be sacrified; Kuzmanovic, M'Vila, and Campagnaro are the most indicated for a sale.
Who is the most underrated player in football right now? (Someone that is relatively unknown currently, but would've been a star if he were to play in the English Premier League.)
Roman Eremenko of Russian side CSKA Moscow. I know a friend from Russia when I went on a business trip, ad he took me to see a CSKA game. 20 minutes later, I asked him "Who's that floppy haired guy? He's had a blinder of a game, yet not a single person in the crowd has noticed him?" He told me his name, and said that fans are very much aware of his contribution, it's just that they're so used to seeing these types of performances from him week in week out. This is an extract from an ESPN article:CSKA won the last two Russian titles, scoring just 48 goals in 30 games in each season. Their football was effective but far from spectacular, and one could even call them rather boring. The current season started in similar fashion, as CSKA found the net seven times in their first five matches. Then Eremenko came along and, suddenly, they became an unstoppable attacking machine, scoring 17 goals in the five league fixtures since. The playmaker himself has scored four times and assisted two more, but his contributions go far beyond that.His role is the creator/playmaker of the Russian side, and he does so extremely well. He has got excellent technical ability with superb vision, and can pick out the right pass almost anytime. His dribbling skills are second to none. He never stops running, and covers a lot of ground during games. He does not shoot very often, but when he does, he can score some brilliant goals. He doesn't defend very well, however he is a very hard worker for his team.
Do you think Inter will be able to defeat Barcelona tomorrow in Milan?
No… Barcelona brought Messi with the team.And they announced his name in the list.so that will be a big problem for Inter to stop Messi as he is the best footballer of all time.But if Messi will not play the match,it will be easy for Inter to win the match on the home ground.Best of luck Inter.Try to stop the king of football.
What does Rangers FC and Celtic FC need to do to become competitive again in the Champions League?
Depends what you mean by competitive.If you mean qualify for the group stages and hold their own?Well that’s been the case for more than a decade and will probably continue for some time to come. Success has been mixed and there have been some very poor results - but overall Celtic and Rangers have had some decent runs and results in Europe in that time and usually perform strongly at home. On a couple of occasions they’ve qualified for the knockout round of the Champions League.If you mean really compete into the latter stages of the tournament or even have a shot at winning?Those days are gone and they are unlikely to come back - not without a major change in league structures across Europe. The financially disparity between the Big 5 leagues and the rest is too great.It’s worth pointing out that it’s not just Celtic and Rangers who have lost out in the financial postcode lottery - there are lots of big teams in small leagues who can no longer compete - Ajax, Anderlecht, F.C Copenhagen, Legia Warsaw, PSV, Steau Bucharest - they’re all in the same boat.These teams used to compete for European titles as recently as the late 1990’s but now success constitutes getting out of the group stage.In football money is king. For Celtic and Rangers to compete in Europe again they would need access to revenues to compete with the financial muscle of the major teams. Either by joining the EPL (which is very unlikely) or through some kind of pan-European leagues which UEFA have previously ruled out.
Has anyone seen Lazio vs Inter match.....?
im a lazio fan... first of all sorry for my english we are not umiliated and we are not ridicolous!! in rome the rivality between lazio and asroma is too strong, if yesterdey we defeated inter, maybe as roma will win the serie a we are a wonderful fans who loves only Lazio this year, when we was in the 18th position, we went in 60.000 at lazio bari and 60.000 at lazio siena during the eighties, when lazio was in serie b, stadio olimpico was always full ( 90.000 ) as roma in the past did the same: they helped juventus to win league and lazio arrived second during this year a lot of matches were distorted (bari - asroma) (parma-asroma) etc!! im according with you, italian serie a is scum, i love english football lLazio fans are the best
How would you make Liverpool FC great again in the EPL and Champions League?
In front they need a winger and progress of Harry Wilson should be taken seriously and he should be feeling he's part of the group coz he's a real threat. We must also look at a cf , proper no.9 , Ings and solanke are good but still a bit immature, someone like dzeko , good in air , but good link up play also . Regarding the a winger , someone like Kevin volland who can play in multiple position but if you get someone like dzeko then maybe Julian Brandt . I would prefer volland coz he'll keep up the work ethic .In midfield , a creative player , hendo can milner wijni are quite similar , disciplined but are not that creative , someone like isco , pastore , Emile fosberg . Keita coming in may give a dynamic ball carrying player and maybe look at some experienced holding player .In defense, a CB , I'm optimistic and I'll say go for alderweirald , imagine him with VVD , Robertson And clyne with Gomez lovren TAA klavan a backup is nice .Gk - Alison has been touted as the next big thing , a guy keeping out ederson , he must be something special. Apart from him who's there , Oblak . I always thought Roman burki was good but he's gone all mignolet. Although I wish karius keeps this form up and keeps moving upward , coz it'll save us so many millions.
I'm visiting Toronto for the first time....Anything I should definitely do?
There is lots to see and do in Toronto...and if you're lucky, you may be able to catch the Cash Cab, which films in Toronto. :D In anycase, the Tourism Toronto website is below. Oh, if you don't mind a two hour drive (each way), Niagra Falls is a must see! Several of the wineries in the area also offer tours and samples. :D Good Luck! EDIT: As to "Of Age" are youreferring to 18 (most of Canada), 19 (Ontario and one or 2 other provinces), or 21 (most of the US)? "Of Age" in Ontario is 19. So, if you mean 18, you're still not allowed to drink. If you mean 21...drink to your heart's content...but try not to drink so much you can't remember what you did or where you went...after all, what's the point of a vacation if you can't remember it?!
Can " FC - P S G " beat " FC BARCELONA " today at Paris, in first leg of Champions league match?
As a Barca fan, I'm very optimistic of Barca coming back to the second leg with a considerable advantage, advancing to QFs.Why?Psg are without Silva. His leadership skills will be as dearly missed as his defensive ability. Without him at the back, PSG face the in form MSN with a shaky backline.Emery has never managed to beat Barca or Enrique in his time in Spain.Barca after a long time, welcome back their strongest starting XI.On the other hand,PSG have scored a whopping 17 goals in their last 5 home games.Cavani has been in scintillating form, netting 33 times this season, 8 more than, Suarez.Barca while on paper look strong, they are without several players to bring on from the bench. (Masche, Rafinha, Vidal)With only Roberto at RB, PSG can cause serious problems from the left wing, especially on the counter.After all, this might not be straightforward at all, like it never is in football.Visca Barca!
